A Day In Hoi An

August 5, 2010 by kianhong

Hoi An, once a major international port from the 17th to 19th centuries where countless of merchants around the world used to trade and stay, retains a sense of the old world charm. I spent half a day strolling the Old Quarter, a Unesco World Heritage site, visiting some of historical buildings, old houses and [...]

以茶会友

August 1, 2010 by kianhong

  中国茶文化源遠流長,博大精深. 只可惜, 我不是饮茶之人. 身为一名华人, 说起来实在惭愧. 我在越南其间, 就曾经遇到一位加拿大人. 我问他尝了本地的咖啡没有. 他竟然说, 他不喝咖啡, 反而来到了越南以后, 培养上喝茶的习惯. 在越南, 喝茶的, 其实也不少. 不过, 现在正是炎夏, 正午时分气温可高达38度C, 没多少人有那份雅兴, 烧水泡茶. 我也是在游走会安(Hoi An)旧街时, 不经意间闯进了一间画廊. 里头的露天小院落处, 便设有茶具, 随时用来泡茶, 招待客人. 我其实一开始的时候, 也没什么兴致饮茶. 不过, 与画廊里的工作人员聊了一阵子后, 便干脆坐了下来. 打算歇一会儿, 品一品茶. 除了画廊老板之外, Linh便是这里的唯一员工. 她一边烧水, 一边为我介绍水的来源. 她说, 水是从这里附近的一口井里取来的, 味道香甜清爽, 用来泡茶, 绝对适合不过. 对于水质这一点, 我是有点保留. 试问坐落在市镇附近的井水, 能干净到哪里去? 不过, 要泡一壶好茶, 用水确实不能马虎. 明朝人张大复在《梅花草堂笔谈》中写道「茶性必发于水。八分之茶,遇十分之水,茶亦十分矣;八分之水,试十分之茶,茶只八分耳。」, 说明了水质对泡茶的重要性. Linh的泡茶方式, 也似模似样. [...]

Football Fever 足球.大热

July 28, 2010 by kianhong

It was hot! At a soaring 38 degrees celsius, you don’t feel like doing anything, except to hide yourself inside the hotel’s room, with the air-con running in full blast mode. After a flight from Singapore to Danang via Ho Chi Minh City, a tiring journey that took me 6 hours, plus another hour drive from Danang to Hoi [...]
